Total Annihilation - Scott "The Bulldog" Rickenbach CBB Rotation #729 Thursday 10* Top Play OVER the total in Stanford Cardinal vs USC Trojans @ 5 ET - The Trojans are off a rare ultra-low scoring game as they lost 58-56 at Oregon State. USC has seen the over go 4-0 this season when they are off a game in which they allowed 62 points or less. Southern Cal had scored an average of 81.4 points per game their 5 preceding games. Stanford enters this game having seen the over go a perfect 5-0 their last 5 games. The Cardinal are off back to back losses but those came on the road. At home Stanford is averaging 81.3 points per game. Also, opponents are knocking down 39% of threes against the Cardinal when they are at home. This total also has dropped from its opener of 140 and that means even more value for us given what is a favorable situation for an over. Look for this one to get well into the 140s and possibly even crack the 150 mark. 10* OVER the total in Stanford

Early Dominator - Scott "The Bulldog" Rickenbach NBA Rotation #524 Thursday 10* Top Play Milwaukee Bucks (-) vs Los Angeles Lakers @ 7:35 ET - Finally the Bucks chance they missed out on last season and I fully expect them to make the most of it. Milwaukee was on a collision course last year in hopes of facing LeBron James and company for a shot at the NBA title but then got knocked out too soon in the Eastern Conference playoffs. Now the Bucks will look to make the most of this regular season opportunity against the current NBA champs. Helping matters a bit is the fact that James and Anthony Davis, though playing, are dealing with ankle ailments. I like the fact that Milwaukee has taken 3 of the last 4 meetings both SU and ATS. They are a confident bunch especially when playing at home. Both LA and the Bucks are entering this game off a loss but the Lakers were nearly a double digit favorite while Milwaukee faced a tougher match-up with Brooklyn. The Bucks also could have gotten caught looking ahead to this game and this one absolutely means more to the host than it does to the visitor. Look for that extra hunger to be the difference here in an other equal match-up. This line has gone from Bucks -2.5 to a pick'em and I have no hesitation in stepping in and fading the move. 10* MILWAUKEE

Earliest Cash - Scott "The Bulldog" Rickenbach NHL Rotation #3 Thursday 10* Top Play Philadelphia Flyers Money Line (+) @ Boston Bruins @ 7:05 ET - When a team is struggling to score goals they will often start to squeeze the sticks a little too tight until they can snap out of it. Essentially they start pressing until they can get back on track. That said, I don't see the bounce back happening for the Bruins tonight. They are facing a tough Flyers team that is playing with plenty of confidence thanks to being one of the highest scoring teams in league so far and coming off a 3-0 shutout win. Philadelphia is scoring an average of nearly 4 goals per game while, at the other end of the spectrum, the Bruins are averaging only about 1 goal per game thus far. In fact, the only team that has scored less than the 4 goals that Boston has on the season is Dallas and that is because they have yet to play a game because of health protocols relating to covid. Getting Philly at an underdog price here when you consider the current trending of the offensive production of these two teams is simply too good to pass up. Yes the Flyers have a couple injury issues but so too do the Bruins including David Pastrnak and that is a big absence for them. 10* PHILADELPHIA

Goal Line Dominator - EPL 10* Top Play Liverpool -1.75 goals vs Burnley @ 3 ET Thursday - Look for Liverpool to win this one by at least 2 goals. In recent seasons they have been the best home team in the premier league. Also, they are coming off a scoreless draw in their most recent match and will be hungry to respond here as goal-scoring has been a problem of late for Liverpool. The good news for Liverpool here is they are facing a Burnley squad that always has trouble scoring goals and has just 4 in their 9 games on enemy pitch this season. Compare that with a Liverpool club that has scored 21 times in their 9 games on their home pitch on the campaign. I fully expect something along the lines of a 3-0 or 4-1 type win for the hosts in this one as Burnley can be strong on defense at times that is for certain but Liverpool is going to be very aggressive on the attack in this one knowing that Burnley is unlikely to burn them on the other end of the pitch. The host is very much in need of a big win and they get it here. 10* LIVERPOOL
